Malaysia has a wide range of experiences to offer, whether it be the
hustle & bustle of the high-rise cities, secluded island relaxation
or an eco-friendly nature tour it can all be covered with the right
planning.
Kuala
Lumpur is the country's capital and a fashion hub with some of the best
shopping on the planet! It's a busy, high-rise metropolis with 66
incredible malls, numerous market streets and an amazing restaurant
scene offering all types of cuisine. For those interested in
architecture, Kuala Lumpur is also known for its innovation when it
comes to design. The Petronas Towers are a world renowned design icon
and trips to the top are available. A break here, en route to your next
destination is the perfect introduction to this fantastic country.

After
the excitement of the city you could head for the island resort of
Langkawi or the tropical paradises of Pangkor Laut and Penang. Langkawi
is on Malaysia's northwest coast and this gorgeous, quiet island has
excellent beaches - the perfect place to escape and relax. Pangkor Laut
is a private island 3 miles off the west coast of Malaysia and with just
20% of the island developed and the rest being natural forest, this is a
truly unique destination. The parts that are developed have been done
to create a unique experience - a luxurious spa village with the most
stunning villas and private accommodation, the perfect place for
pampering and escapism. Penang is also situated off the west coast of
Malaysia and is more developed than Pangkor Laut with many buzzing
hotels, bars and restaurants.

The island has a strong Chinese influence
and is the hawker food capital of the country so the major town,
Georgetown, is definitely worth a visit.

The eco-tours on the huge
rainforest island of Borneo are also a remarkable experience. Famous
for its orang-utan colonies, the island offers some the finest wildlife
and nature experiences in the world. The region of Sabah, which is owned
by Malaysia has perfect beaches and numerous islands that haven't been
touched by human hand and the dense tropical forests provide so many
unique exploration opportunities. The Shangri-la Rasa Ria resort offers
pure luxury and a perfect base from which to explore or rest after a
hard day trekking in the jungle.
